Kelly pkelly@kellyandlemmons.com Licensed in Minnesota and Wisconsin February 1, 2019 VIA EMAIL Peter Beck Beck Law Office 4746 Sheridan Ave. S. Minneapolis, MN 55410 RE: ResCare Conditional Use Permit Application Dear Mr. Beck, The January 22, 2019 City Council meeting was disappointing to my client and to the people and citizens that are in need of a ResCare facility. As you know, the IRTS are designed to develop and enhance psychiatric stability, personal and emotional adjustment, self- sufficiency, and skills to live in a more independent setting. The ResCare use complies with the ordinance definition of an institutional use as it is a healthcare facility offering principally inpatient care. The property is located in the R-1C zoning district which allows institutional uses and a conditional use. The site is guided for urban residential uses and the proposed use is consistent with residential uses identified in the zoning code and according to staff the project is consistent with the comprehensive plan. In approving a conditional use permit, the council may impose such specific conditions with regard to the development or operation of the proposed use as it considers necessary to satisfy the seven standards set forth in Section 30-654 and the requirements contained this article and to promote compatibility with and minimize any potentially adverse effects upon adjacent properties, the neighborhood or the city. The City of Elk River has a competent planner and planning staff to evaluate and advise the council with respect to zoning and applications for conditional use permits. The planner processed the ResCare application and evaluated whether it satisfied the seven standards of development or operation of the proposed use.
